JC's Player Soundset Restoration for K2 1.0

About This File

Summary

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the player, like all party members, would occasionally say things during combat and when performing other actions.
In the second game, however, the player is mute.

This mod restores the player soundset for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords.

The critical files needed for the original player soundset to function were actually always there, but they were in various states of disuse. This mod fixes them up and restores the player's voice. There are different soundsets for male and female players and they are the same ones as in the first game.

 

Installation

  1. Run Player_Soundset_Restoration.exe.

 

Uninstallation

  1. Remove the installed files.

 

Compatibility

This mod must be installed before any mods that patch soundset.2da. This mod does not use TSLPatcher to patch soundset.2da; it uses a hard 2DA install because the exact line numbers are necessary for the player soundset to work. It feels dirty, but I have to do it.

But you'd have to stop modding K1 and actually play TSL first to get any use out of it.

Quick update for you @JCarter426, I tried this last night, and for lockboxes, the voice isn't heard I'll try again (had to refix my game) could be an issue on my end. Will this conflict with your other sound mixes?

Hmm, I'm not sure what the problem is. I have noticed the game is inconsistent about playing some sounds, but I definitely did hear the lockpick ones when I tested, for both male and female.

Should I just uninstall then reinstall the game then, see if that works? I was having an issue that likely was unrelated, kept having game crashes, that was related to a different mod far as I know, seemed fine now that I removed that one which was one of the exile armor mods (kept giving me error messages in kse so thinking that was unrelated to yours), for the voice over, with it I've heard how certain sounds would play such as when my female exile was bashing at the door and I was happy as a clam lol I'm like yay that sweet wonderful @JCarter426he's made my game much more lively, and then the game messed up refusing to play the lockpick sounds le'sigh! lol

For your other problems, I'd say yeah.

For the soundset, though, I don't know. It could be an audio format issue. I've heard reports of audio from mods not playing on the Steam version, and music not playing without the proper header data. I did add the headers for my release, but I used an experimental tool and I might not have gotten things quite right, so I'll keep playing around with it.

I'm definitely hearing the lockpick sounds on my end, though there are others I suspect either aren't playing or are getting cut off.

For now I can only suggest reinstalling the mod, and maybe the game for your other problems.

Would it be possible to create a script which changes the players soundest from having nothing to the new soundest you've added and attach said script to the opening scene on Peragus?

 

Or is that impossible and the only way to enjoy the soundset is via KSE? (Or am I missing something here?)

The player already has a soundset, configured on character creation. It just doesn't do anything in the base game because various files are missing or incomplete.

KSE isn't needed.

Oh ok, considering KSE with a vanilla exile says "None" for the soundset it made me think it was actually set to nothing for a second.

 

By any chance would turning the soundset files into mp3 files work for Steam Users (If it doesn't work that is)?

I converted them to the usual SteamSounds format so I believe they should work, but I don't have the game on Steam so I can't test it.

Post the converted version of the mod here, I have a steam version I can test it. Also convert them into mp3 files sound like a good idea.

The release version is that.

I checked them, they are all.WAV files. now lets see if converting them to mp3 solves the problem. Can you do that?

They are supposed to be WAV files. The version I released is the same as all the other soundsets in the game, WAV with a fake MP3 header. That's the format the game files are in, so until I'm told there is an actual problem, I don't intend to convert them to another format.

Hey, great mod! However I'm having a little trouble changing the sounds after installation. The default sounds work, however when I overwrite them in "streamsounds" with files from below, none of the sounds play. I'd appreciate any help! (Public Steam version TSLRCM 1.8.5)

I can't say since it was SH who exported those audio files, not me; and I talked to him and he says he doesn't know either, because there have been no reported problems for the mod in K1.
It's possible the audio formats are different, but I won't have time to look into it for a while.

If I recall correctly Steam version Kotor 2 doesn't allow .WAV files to play, so changing the format should fix the issue. I know this sounds extremely strange considering how the vanilla files are set, but this has been my experience and is my advice to getting these audio files to work.

I've heard that's the case with WAV files that lack the proper header file on Steam, but the files in this mod are WAV and have the same header as the original game files and those are the ones that are working (as they should).

It's possible there's a difference between the K1 and K2 headers, but I won't have time to investigate thoroughly for a while. All I can say for now is that the audio files I tested work for me and I haven't tested any other audio files on any other system and can't.

I installed your mod first and then I installed the lana pc soundset but I don't have any audio either with my player so I guess there  is something preventing this from working.  Which is bummer to be honest.  I play from a two disk version and the lana pc replacement works for my k1 game but even with the installed mod above for K2..no audio sound plays at all.  It's silent.
